snackology

March 31, 2008

Snackology is the category where I take care of Snack business, like announcing a new addition to the page. Note on the left column is a fairly new list titled Posts Recently Updated. Given how the blogoshpere is interactive and often creates a chain reaction, it seemed a practical thing to do.

Take the most recent addition: I posted last week that Alinea might open in New York City, which prompted a letter from Grant Achatz to Time Out New York explaining - yes he almost signed a space in Soho, and he loves the city, but he has no hard plans to open here anytime soon. So this epilogue and link get added to the original post, in case anyone should stumble upon it, they will now how the complete and current story.

A great accessory can turn the ordinary into the sublime n'est-ce pas? Perhaps you're in need of some bling for your blog? Thanks to the 1-2-3 technology over at widgetbox, I've transformed Snack into a blidget you can put on your website or myspace or facebook or where ever you might be. I put it up here, on the right column so you can see the flair. Then click the "Get Widget" button on the bottom. (Or go right to Snack at widgetbox.)It looks good on you.

Snackology is the category for blog business. (For a refresher on what all the snack-isms mean, go here.)

Many have queried via email as to the provenance of the recently added Japanime drawing of moi. It was created by Tokyo illustrator Takeshi Nitta of Cubicface. I think it adds some nice flair to the page, n'est-ce pas?

And what is snack-in-the-box? Was added in January, for those who don't have time to click over to snack, preferring to get fresh snack posts delivered to their email in-box. I post. You get. Easy.

Lastly, the number one question from readers is, "I don't understand why you write snack if you don't make any money?" My work as a writer is bound by the confines of editors, print deadlines and the voice of the publications. Snack is my domain to do as I wish. And freedom is its own, albeit esoteric, reward.

Perhaps you’ve noticed snack is a labor of love, sans advertising (though I wonder if Nicolas Ghesquière reads snack and would like to dress my blog?). For those wondering how I bring home the bacon, I’m a pen for hire, hence today’s sunshine.

Today snack is officially one year old and I think it’s aging quite well. More than 140 posts later I can say - I’m addicted to blogging, and am looking forward to the next 365 days. I’ll be pimping my snack with au courant accessories like the sound of snack (audio), snackmail (email subscriptions), and of course all those tasty bits of breaking news that have become a staple of your information diet.

Increasingly people inquire as to my likes and dislikes, wanting specific references and recommendations. So to reply, I’ve added some new links to snacking around, found on the column to your left. I’ll be adding to the list during these slow days of summer. Note all is not food related. Some is fashion, some is art, but all of it is good.
